Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a food processor, combine the figs and toasted pine nuts. Pulse until finely chopped and well combined, forming a coarse paste. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Arrange the peach halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Sprinkle each peach half evenly with granulated sugar. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Gently pour the white wine over the peaches, ensuring each one is moistened. Spoon the fig and pine nut mixture generously into the cavity of each peach half, mounding it slightly. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Drizzle the brandy evenly over the stuffed peaches. (2 minutes)

06

Step
20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the filling is lightly browned and bubbling. (20 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Optional: For a dramatic presentation, carefully warm a bit more brandy in a small saucepan. Ignite it carefully with a long match or lighter and then drizzle the flaming brandy over the peaches just before serving. Exercise caution! (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use Amaretto instead of brandy.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the fig and pine nut mixture.
Serve warm with a dollop of mascarpone cheese or vanilla ice cream.
